Data Transmission Recipes

Abstract

As time has progressed and technology has developed, one of the clearest trends has been the growth in user-generated content. With the improvement of design technologies, Internet connection speeds, and network availability, the amount of data generated electronically per year has increased at a nearly unbelievable rate. The heart of this matter is based around the idea of allowing users to easily take in and redistribute information. While the social sharing tools Apple provides (see Chapter 8) are great for sharing content with multitudes of people or quickly generating email and text, sometimes you want a more personal experience, such as composing text messages and emails directly or even allowing the user to print something to keep. This chapter will cover these important features, which are often overlooked by other iOS reference sources.
